“It’s time someone told the truth about excellent teaching. John Perricone’s book is mystical, practical, insightful,
and remarkably refreshing for
teachers struggling to serve students well in the conflicted landscape of contemporary
education. His writing has given all of us in Education a powerful gift with immediate use. Give it to a teacher you love. Also give it to a teacher you don’t love.”
Lynn Olcott, Education
Department: State University of New York College at Cortland
“More than a book, more than a philosophy, John Perricone captures the essence of the spirit that resonates
in us all, guides us in finding that spirit as it is expressed in the mission of teaching, and shows how to help young people discover the same in themselves. Perricone’s words are authenticated by his own living example, as a truly powerful inspiration.”
Stan Proffitt, Corporate Educator/Leadership Consultant
“Having taught in the public school system for 34 years and reached the magical age of 56, I had started to think seriously about life after teaching when people would ask, "When are you going to retire"? Then I read Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching. I now realize that I've got a few
more decades in me. What
a pity this inspirational and deeply perceptive book wasn't written
when I started teaching.”
Gil Durham, Chemistry Teacher and Science

Chenango Valley (NY) CSD
John Perricone's book, Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching is a book written from the heart
and, like any great book, touches the heart and the mind of the reader. This book is a must read for all educators who
want
to be inspired, revitalized, or simply reminded of why they entered the noblest profession. It is full of wisdom, engaging anecdotes, and practical tips that will make the reader smile,
both inwardly and outwardly.
